About Choosing Your Career

Once upon a time in our school life, we all gave different answers when the teacher asked each and everyone of us the following questions. 

What do you want to do after completing your education? Or Who do you want to be when you grow up?

The answers were very inspiring but did we become what we inspired to become in life?

Choosing a career can be disappointing if you are not asking yourself the right questions to help you identify the kind of career that best suites your skills and strong attributes.

Here is a look into what would help you identify your career choice

1. What do you mostly like doing and have a passion for it?

Before someone figured out what they were good at doing, it was most likely already eminent among those they spent time with. 

In an example, a class can identify those students who well understood a certain subject like mathematics. Such students would most likely pursue a career in banking. On the other hand, students who were good in sciences would most likely pursue a science related career. They would become scientists, doctors, pharmacists, engineers or physicians.

For those who find it difficult to choose a career, it is possible that your passion lies in what people see or identify you with. You could also try looking for related occupations in your line of interest and mostly inclining to what describes what you know best. 

 

2. Do you have the required qualifications?

Upon identifying what you are good at doing,  the next step would be to equip yourself with the required and needed skills. 

Start by considering joining a reputable learning institution that will provide quality training in your field or area of study. In learning institutions there are professionals and certified lecturers who will provide recommended training and spear you into becoming what you aspire to become. 

During the period of your learning, you will cover different courses and practices that are required in the real world for employment or for starting your own career. After successfully completing your learning, you get accredited with an official document as a proof that you have attained the recommended training in your field of study.

3. What would you like to accomplish or achieve?

A career can span for several years but what you accomplish is what will leave behind the legacy of your career. One can become an exemplary in their line of practice to an extent of earning recognition. 

Other people who decide to learn extensively end up acquiring tiles such as Professor or Doctor. Some even are referred to as Authors once they write books about what they have achieved or learned during the practice of their careers.  

What if you did not stop there but went ahead to do something important in science, literature, or economics that would earn you a Nobel Prize?

By choosing the right career, you also stand to find a lucrative job that will improve your life. All as a result of choosing the right career.
